_____________________________________________________________

Please consider nominating a colleague (or yourself) for the Cunningham Memorial International Fellowship. Please note that if awarded in this cycle, the fellowship will take place in 2018.

The purpose of the Cunningham fellowship is to assist in the education and training of health science librarians from countries outside the United States and Canada. The Cunningham fellowship supports attendance at the MLA Annual Meeting and observation and supervised work in one or more medical libraries in the United States and Canada. The fellowship also permits access to MLA-sponsored online continuing education courses for a one-year period beginning in January of the fellowship year.

The MLA Cunningham Memorial International Fellowships were established in 1967 with a bequest from the estate of Eileen R. Cunningham. The first fellowship was awarded in 1972 at the annual meeting in San Diego, CA. This program continues to train and motivate international librarians with the latest advances in the health information profession.
